عِبرانِيّين 11
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْإِيمَانُ فَهُوَ ٱلثِّقَةُ بِمَا يُرْجَى وَٱلْإِيقَانُ بِأُمُورٍ لَا تُرَى. | ١ 1 |
Now faith is being sure of the things hoped for and certain of things that are not seen.
| فَإِنَّهُ فِي هَذَا شُهِدَ لِلْقُدَمَاءِ. | ٢ 2 |
For because of this the ancestors were approved for their faith.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ نَفْهَمُ أَنَّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ أُتْقِنَتْ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَتَكَوَّنْ مَا يُرَى مِمَّا هُوَ ظَاهِرٌ. (aiōn g165) | ٣ 3 |
By faith we understand that the universe was created by God's command, so that what is visible was not made out of things that were visible. (aiōn g165)
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ قَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ لِلهِ ذَبِيحَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ قَايِينَ. فَبِهِ شُهِدَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ بَارٌّ، إِذْ شَهِدَ ٱللهُ لِقَرَابِينِهِ. وَبِهِ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ، يَتَكَلَّمْ بَعْدُ! | ٤ 4 |
It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, and God spoke well of him because of his offerings, and by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ نُقِلَ أَخْنُوخُ لِكَيْ لَا يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ، وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ نَقَلَهُ. إِذْ قَبْلَ نَقْلِهِ شُهِدَ لَهُ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْضَى ٱللهَ. | ٥ 5 |
It was by faith that Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death. “He was not found, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, it was testified that he had pleased God.
| وَلَكِنْ بِدُونِ إِيمَانٍ لَا يُمْكِنُ إِرْضَاؤُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ يُؤْمِنُ بِأَنَّهُ مَوْجُودٌ، وَأَنَّهُ يُجَازِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Now without faith it is impossible to please him. For it is necessary that anyone coming to God must believe that he exists and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ نُوحٌ لَمَّا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ عَنْ أُمُورٍ لَمْ تُرَ بَعْدُ خَافَ، فَبَنَى فُلْكًا لِخَلَاصِ بَيْتِهِ، فَبِهِ دَانَ ٱلْعَالَمَ، وَصَارَ وَارِثًا لِلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي حَسَبَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ. | ٧ 7 |
It was by faith that Noah, having been given a divine message about things not yet seen, with godly reverence built a ship to save his household. By doing this, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَّا دُعِيَ أَطَاعَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عَتِيدًا أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ مِيرَاثًا، فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ إِلَى أَيْنَ يَأْتِي. | ٨ 8 |
It was by faith that Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went out to the place that he was to receive as an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ كَأَنَّهَا غَرِيبَةٌ، سَاكِنًا فِي خِيَامٍ مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ٱلْوَارِثَيْنِ مَعَهُ لِهَذَا ٱلْمَوْعِدِ عَيْنِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
It was by faith that he lived in the land of promise as a foreigner. He lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise.
| لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْتَظِرُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا ٱلْأَسَاسَاتُ، ٱلَّتِي صَانِعُهَا وَبَارِئُهَا ٱللهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ سَارَةُ نَفْسُهَا أَيْضًا أَخَذَتْ قُدْرَةً عَلَى إِنْشَاءِ نَسْلٍ، وَبَعْدَ وَقْتِ ٱلسِّنِّ وَلَدَتْ، إِذْ حَسِبَتِ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَ صَادِقًا. | ١١ 11 |
It was by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren, that Abraham received ability to father a child. This happened even though he was too old, since he considered as faithful the one who had given the promise.
| لِذَلِكَ وُلِدَ أَيْضًا مِنْ وَاحِدٍ، وَذَلِكَ مِنْ مُمَاتٍ، مِثْلُ نُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، وَكَالرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِىءِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Therefore, from this one man—and he was almost dead—were born descendants as many as the stars in the sky and as countless as sand by the seashore.
| فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ مَاتَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَجْمَعُونَ، وَهُمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدَ، بَلْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ نَظَرُوهَا وَصَدَّقُوهَا وَحَيَّوْهَا، وَأَقَرُّوا بِأَنَّهُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلَاءُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٣ 13 |
It was in faith that all these died without receiving the promises. Instead, after seeing and greeting them from far off, they admitted that they were foreigners and exiles on earth.
| فَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ مِثْلَ هَذَا يُظْهِرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَطْلُبُونَ وَطَنًا. | ١٤ 14 |
For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
| فَلَوْ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجُوا مِنْهُ، لَكَانَ لَهُمْ فُرْصَةٌ لِلرُّجُوعِ. | ١٥ 15 |
If they had been thinking of the country from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.
| وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ يَبْتَغُونَ وَطَنًا أَفْضَلَ، أَيْ سَمَاوِيًّا. لِذَلِكَ لَا يَسْتَحِي بِهِمِ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَهَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ مَدِينَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has prepared a city for them.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ قَدَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ وَهُوَ مُجَرَّبٌ. قَدَّمَ ٱلَّذِي قَبِلَ ٱلْمَوَاعِيدَ، وَحِيدَهُ | ١٧ 17 |
It was by faith that Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac. It was his only son whom he offered, he who had received the promises.
| ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ يُدْعَى لَكَ نَسْلٌ». | ١٨ 18 |
It was Abraham to whom it had been said, “It is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.”
| إِذْ حَسِبَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى ٱلْإِقَامَةِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ أَيْضًا، ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ أَخَذَهُ أَيْضًا فِي مِثَالٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
Abraham reasoned that God was able to raise up Isaac from the dead, and figuratively speaking, it was from them that he received him back.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ إِسْحَاقُ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو مِنْ جِهَةِ أُمُورٍ عَتِيدَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
It was also by faith about things to come that Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يَعْقُوبُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بَارَكَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنِ ٱبْنَيْ يُوسُفَ، وَسَجَدَ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَصَاهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
It was by faith that Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons. Jacob worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ يُوسُفُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ذَكَرَ خُرُوجَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَوْصَى مِنْ جِهَةِ عِظَامِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It was by faith that Joseph, when his end was near, spoke of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt and instructed them about his bones.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ مُوسَى، بَعْدَمَا وُلِدَ، أَخْفَاهُ أَبَوَاهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، لِأَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَا ٱلصَّبِيَّ جَمِيلًا، وَلَمْ يَخْشَيَا أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
It was by faith that Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. They were not afraid of the king's command.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ مُوسَى لَمَّا كَبِرَ أَبَى أَنْ يُدْعَى ٱبْنَ ٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
It was by faith that Moses, after he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
| مُفَضِّلًا بِٱلْأَحْرَى أَنْ يُذَلَّ مَعَ شَعْبِ ٱللهِ عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ تَمَتُّعٌ وَقْتِيٌّ بِٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Instead, he chose to suffer with the people of God, rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a while.
| حَاسِبًا عَارَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ غِنًى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِ مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلْمُجَازَاةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He reasoned that the disgrace of following Christ was greater riches than Egypt's treasures. For he was fixing his eyes on his reward.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ تَرَكَ مِصْرَ غَيْرَ خَائِفٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،لِأَنَّهُ تَشَدَّدَ، كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَنْ لَا يُرَى. | ٢٧ 27 |
It was by faith that Moses left Egypt. He did not fear the king's anger, for he endured as if he were seeing the one who is invisible.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ صَنَعَ ٱلْفِصْحَ وَرَشَّ ٱلدَّمَ لِئَلَّا يَمَسَّهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَهْلَكَ ٱلْأَبْكَارَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
It was by faith that he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch the Israelites' firstborn sons.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱجْتَازُوا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْأَحْمَرِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لَمَّا شَرَعَ فِيهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ غَرِقُوا. | ٢٩ 29 |
It was by faith that they passed through the Sea of Reeds as if over dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do this, they were swallowed up.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ سَقَطَتْ أَسْوَارُ أَرِيحَا بَعْدَمَا طِيفَ حَوْلَهَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
It was by faith that Jericho's walls fell down, after they had been circled around for seven days.
| بِٱلْإِيمَانِ رَاحَابُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ لَمْ تَهْلِكْ مَعَ ٱلْعُصَاةِ، إِذْ قَبِلَتِ ٱلْجَاسُوسَيْنِ بِسَلَامٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.
| وَمَاذَا أَقُولُ أَيْضًا؟ لِأَنَّهُ يُعْوِزُنِي ٱلْوَقْتُ إِنْ أَخْبَرْتُ عَنْ جِدْعُونَ، وَبَارَاقَ، وَشَمْشُونَ، وَيَفْتَاحَ، وَدَاوُدَ، وَصَمُوئِيلَ، وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
What more can I say? For the time will fail me if I tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and about the prophets.
| ٱلَّذِينَ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ: قَهَرُوا مَمَالِكَ، صَنَعُوا بِرًّا، نَالُوا مَوَاعِيدَ، سَدُّوا أَفْوَاهَ أُسُودٍ، | ٣٣ 33 |
It was through faith that they conquered kingdoms, worked justice, and received promises. They stopped the mouths of lions,
| أَطْفَأُوا قُوَّةَ ٱلنَّارِ، نَجَوْا مِنْ حَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، تَقَوَّوْا مِنْ ضَعْفٍ، صَارُوا أَشِدَّاءَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ، هَزَمُوا جُيُوشَ غُرَبَاءَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were healed of illnesses, became mighty in battle, and defeated foreign armies.
| أَخَذَتْ نِسَاءٌ أَمْوَاتَهُنَّ بِقِيَامَةٍ. وَآخَرُونَ عُذِّبُوا وَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوا ٱلنَّجَاةَ لِكَيْ يَنَالُوا قِيَامَةً أَفْضَلَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Women received back their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might experience a better resurrection.
| وَآخَرُونَ تَجَرَّبُوا فِي هُزُءٍ وَجَلْدٍ، ثُمَّ فِي قُيُودٍ أَيْضًا وَحَبْسٍ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Others had testing in mocking and whippings, and even chains and imprisonment.
| رُجِمُوا، نُشِرُوا، جُرِّبُوا، مَاتُوا قَتْلًا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، طَافُوا فِي جُلُودِ غَنَمٍ وَجُلُودِ مِعْزَى، مُعْتَازِينَ، مَكْرُوبِينَ، مُذَلِّينَ، | ٣٧ 37 |
They were stoned. They were sawn in two. They were killed with the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins. They were destitute, oppressed, mistreated.
| وَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلْعَالَمُ مُسْتَحِقًّا لَهُمْ. تَائِهِينَ فِي بَرَارِيَّ وَجِبَالٍ وَمَغَايِرَ وَشُقُوقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
The world was not worthy of them. They were always wandering about in the deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
| فَهَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ، مَشْهُودًا لَهُمْ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ، لَمْ يَنَالُوا ٱلْمَوْعِدَ، | ٣٩ 39 |
Although all these people were approved by God because of their faith, they did not receive the promise.
| إِذْ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَنَظَرَ لَنَا شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ، لِكَيْ لَا يُكْمَلُوا بِدُونِنَا. | ٤٠ 40 |
God planned something better for us, so that without us, they would not be made perfect.
